Empire State Building LED Lighting Synchs with Alicia Keys Radio Broadcasts

PLSN: Although the Empire State Building has been equipped with a Philips Color Kinetics LED color-changing system including customized Reach, Graze, Cove and Blast Powercore fixtures, the LED fixtures have so far been used mainly to mimic the static seasonal and charity-related hues bathing the upper reaches of the 1,454-foot office building for years. But on Nov. 26, that changed. At 9pm, a color-changing light show designed by LD Marc Brickman and driven by Hippotizer media servers controlled by a grandMA2 console was synched to Clear Channel broadcasts of music by Alicia Keys.
